 * **Characteristics: ** || These people learn best when information is presented visually and in written form. || These people learn best when information is presented visually and in a picture or design format. || These people learn best when information is presented aurally. They benefit from listening to lecture, and group discussions. || These people learn best when doing a physical “hands on” activity. ||
 * **Facts from each style: ** || Textbooks and class notes are helpful. || Placing key words and information in flashcards benefits. Drawing symbol and diagram charts is also helpful. || Listening to videos and class presentations is helpful for these learners. || When these learners read information out loud and use models they learn faster. ||
